“NBU black list”
can become a serious problem for Ukrainians. It will affect the ability to obtain loans and even the career prospects of citizens. The Deputy Head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Dmytro Oliinyk, noted that individuals who end up on this list will face restrictions on making transfers beyond certain limits.
Oliinyk emphasized that difficulties may arise not only for those experiencing financial troubles. The
“sanctions”
will also apply to young people who knowingly sell their data. He stated:
“This could affect future careers or be viewed negatively during entry into public service. Or it could impact the ability to obtain loans in the future”
.
Draft Law on Payment Discipline
The National Bank is currently finalizing a draft law on payment discipline, which aims to create a register of Ukrainians who have provided their bank accounts for money laundering and other illegal activities. Through these clients, fraudsters can withdraw stolen funds. Responsibility for entering data into the register will lie not only with the NBU but also with payment service providers and banks.
Restrictions on Transfers
Previously, the NBU did not lift the restrictions on outgoing transfers
“from card to card”
amounting to 150,000 UAH per month. However, these limits continue to apply according to the Memorandum on Ensuring Transparency in the Payment Services Market signed by Ukrainian banks. Starting June 1, the restrictions will be tightened, and the new limit will decrease to 100,000 UAH per month.
A member of the Supervisory Board of PrivatBank for retail business, Dmytro Musienko, commented that the restrictions only apply to transfers from individuals to accounts of other counterparties via bank cards or IBAN details, both in Ukraine and abroad.
“At the same time, these limits do not apply to payments for goods and services. In particular, for utility payments or purchases in stores, as they are not classified as transfers between counterparties”
